Jesse was a U.S. Navy veteran. He was born in Cullen, VA on April 8, 1937. In 1954, he quit school and joined the Navy. After the Navy, he returned to Cullen and graduated from Randolph Henry High School in 1961. Jesse moved to Washington D.C. and began his long career in sales. Relocating to Richmond in 1965, he sold cars and often had to call the banks for loan approval. It was during these calls he became enamored with Linda, a young switchboard operator. She finally agreed to meet him for lunch and the rest is history. Jesse, an outgoing man, was an excellent salesman who never met a stranger. After selling everything from electrical supplies to cars, he started his own landscaping service in order to spend more time with his family. Jesse was an excellent husband, father, and provider. He was described as someone who would give you the shirt off his back even if it was his last one. The family will receive friends from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Thursday, February 3, 2022, at Morrissett Funeral & Cremation Service, 6500 Iron Bridge Rd. (Rte. 10).

My name is Jeannie Ball. I first met Jesse as a child. He was friends with my mother’s family. I remember him as being just like you described him. He was always very kind and friendly. Linda, you and Jesse came to my wedding 50 years ago in June of 1972. It was at a little country church in Caroline county, about 30 miles north of Richmond. I did not see Jesse anymore until at a family funeral some 20 years ago. From what I read and saw on the video, it looks like you and Jesse had a wonderful life and a beautiful family. That is a true blessing from God. My mother and I send you our deepest sympathy and may God bless and comfort each of you in the days and weeks ahead. Jeannie Ball, Ruther Glen, VA.
